Vertebrate Kidney
• Kidney is made up of thousands of repeating units (nephrons), each with the structure of a bent tube.
– Blood pressure forces the fluid in blood past a filter, glomerulus, at the top of each nephron.
Water and small molecules pass through filter and into the nephron tube.
Sugars and ions are removed by active transport.

The Mammalian Kidney
• Each kidney receives blood from a renal artery, and produces urine.
– Urine drains from each kidney through a ureter which carries urine to urinary bladder.
– Within the kidney, mouth of ureter flares to form renal pelvis.
Divided into renal cortex and renal medulla.

The Mammalian Kidney
• Nephron structure and function– Blood is carried by an afferent arteriole to
the glomerulus. Blood is filtered as it is forced through
porous capillary walls.Glomerular filtrate enters Bowman’s
capsule. Moves to the proximal convoluted
tubule.

The Mammalian Kidney
• Fluid then moves down the medulla and back into the cortex in a loop of Henle.
– After leaving the loop, the fluid is delivered to a distal convoluted tubule in the cortex that drains to a collecting duct.
merges with other collecting ducts to empty its contents into the renal pelvis

The Mammalian Kidney
• Reabsorption and secretion– Most of the water and dissolved solutes
that enter the glomerular filtrate must be returned to the blood.
– Reabsorption of glucose and amino acids, is driven by active transport carriers.
– Secretion of waste products involves transport across capillary membranes and kidney tubules.
• Excretion

Transport Processes in the Mammalian Nephron
• Some mechanism is needed to create an osmotic gradient between the glomerular filtrate and the blood, allowing reabsorption.
• Proximal convoluted tubule– Approximately two-thirds of NaCl and
water filtered in Bowman’s capsule is immediately reabsorbed across the walls of the proximal convoluted tube.
13
Transport Processes in the Mammalian Nephron
• Loop of Henle– Descending limb is permeable to water, thus
water leaves via osmosis.– Water loss in the descending limb multiples
concentration achieved at each loop.– Ascending limb actively extrudes N+ and Cl
follows.– NaCl pumped out of ascending limb is
trapped within surrounding interstitial fluid.– countercurrent multiplier system
14
Transport Processes in the Mammalian Nephron
• Distal tubule and collecting duct– Permeability of the collecting duct to water
is adjusted by antidiuretic hormone (ADH - vasopressin).
Kidneys also regulate the balance of electrolytes in the blood by reabsorption and secretion.
15
Reabsorption of Salt and Water
16
Hormones Control Homeostatic Functions
• Antidiuretic hormone– Stimulates reabsorption of water by the
kidneys.
17
Hormones Control Homeostatic Functions
• Aldosterone– Promotes reabsorption of NaCl and water
across the distal convoluted tubule and the secretion of K+ into the tubule.
• Atrial natriuretic hormone– decreases NaCl reabsorption
